Tom:

I also have a connection to the Owen family and many have the same given
names as yours.
My Owen family came from Chesterfield, W.Va., but migrated into Madison
County, Alabama, just south of Lincoln Col, Tn.

William Owen b. 7 Jul 1767 (Died 20 Apr. 1832 Madison Co., AL)
married in June, 1787 or 1788 to Nancy LaPrade b. 4 Jun 1765 d. ca 1840,
Madison Co., AL

One of their children was William F. Owen b. 1791 ?place, died 9 Sep 1847
in Madison Co., AL, m 28 Dec. 1820 in Alabama to Nancy Sanford b. 1798
?place.

William and Nancy Sanford had Robert H. Owen in 1823 who married Nancy Potts

Robert Owen and Nacy Potts Had William David (Billy) Owen in 1848. On
May 7 1871, William David (Billy) Owen married Elizabeth Jane "Betsey"
Glass b. 1852.

Elizabeth Jane "Betsey" Glass and William David (Billy) Owen had Annie Lou
Owen b. 4 Apr 1880 in Owens Cross Roads, Madison County, Alabama.

If you think any of this has any significance in relation to your line,
please let me know.

I am the great granddaughter of Annie Lou Owen.

Thanks,

Doris Winkler Hobbs
